AI is here to stay, having already become a part of our everyday lives. It’s the technology behind the personal assistants that help us manage our schedules, the algorithms that curate our social media feeds, and the recommendation engines that suggest movies or products tailored to our preferences. Whether we realize it or not, AI is influencing our decisions, streamlining tasks, and even augmenting our creativity. AI tools assist us at work, predicting financial outcomes, optimizing communication channels, and streamline the creative process for artists, writers, and designers. Its impact continues to grow as AI adoption accelerates across diverse fields, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment.
Similarly, immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are transforming our everyday lives as well, across industries and experiences. AI has always been important to the development of immersive technology, behind capabilities such as image and voice recognition. Now, as AI and immersive technologies converge within the user experience, the possibilities are even more exciting. AI-driven content generation and personalization are taking immersive experiences to new heights, making them more engaging and relevant. These technologies are not only reshaping how we entertain ourselves but also how we learn, work, and interact with the world around us, promising a future where our realities are enriched and extended by the digital realm.
Join us November 1st to learn about the exponential growth of artificial intelligence along with immersive technology’s impact on our lived experiences, from work, to play, to (ironically) human connection.Â

For our Virtual Venue, we will be using Virbela‘s Open Campus to host the program. We suggest that you download, set-up, get familiar with the Virbela program and environment prior to the program, as we will be unable to provide support during the event.
The virtual environment resembles a physical space, so you will be able to talk with other attendees during open networking both before and after the presentations. The sound is spatialized, so if at any point it feels too loud, feel free to move your conversation to another part of the room where there are less people.
